my homeland

singaporeans are famous for complaining. true perhaps? maybe its because we live in a land where everything and anything is available and just simply, we're extremely fortune. many of us have grown up in a society whereby we take the comfort and peace for granted and expect even more from the government that can satisfy not our needs, but wants. while we 'protest' for things such as the raise in taxi fares, ERP charges, stressful and demanding education system and other politic issues, etc, we forget about those who protest for and desperately desire the very basics of a decent life - food, stable means of income, good governance, education for the kids and of course, peace. i never understand how people can go about talkin about their wishes to migrate and how they have never liked it here. for me, i feel theres so much we can be proud of about right here. besides all the good standard of living, leadership in governance that no doubt we can admire, an education that so many out there would have desired for but cannot afford, blah blah... but really, where else in the world could you be in whereby the journey to school, to the coffeeshop, to play, to homes of friends and relatives would take you less than an hour. not forgetting the security of our country and our personal security against riots, protests, violence, mobbing..., can never be experienced anywhere else in the world.
together with my loved ones, thats what makes it really feel like home here. =)
